Welcome to DPD!The DPD Project is a thematic mix-CD project created by music geeks and best friends Chris Diamond, Chris Prokop, and Michael Darpino. Each CD in the project has a theme that ties the songs on it together. For every theme we each pick five songs that we feel best represent it. The collected fifteen songs are then mixed together in alternating order based on our last names. The songs that end up on DPD are meant to be the very best songs for their particular theme. We write liner notes for each song to explain why we picked it for that theme. The project has grown into a sort of musical memoir over the years since music has been and still is such a huge part of our lives. Most Recent Discs:

Random DPD Pick:So What by: Ministry from: The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste Picked By: darpino For: DPD: 073 - It Was a Good Year ['83,'85,'89] This isn't necessarily Ministry's most rocking song, but it is one of their very best. It is the pinnacle of their combination of moody basslines, metal-like guitar, and samples - in essence the pinnacle of Ministry-style. Of course when your talking samples in 1989 you have to take "Rivers" by Skinny Puppy into account. That is one of my favorite Puppy songs. But "Rivers" is more of a mood piece, a sound collage, and less of a traditional song. Here Ministry collect samples thematically to use them as an insturment in the larger song. A larger song that features awesome lyrics delivered by Al in one of his greatest vocal performances. Ministry's instrumentation of samples here, combined with Al's singing is musical genius and really puts "So What" over the top. Oh yeah - that and the hate. |
